But the journey will not be easy - they face Rostov for their last 16 clash away in Russia, a fixture that should be taken with the seriousness it deserves. Man Utd won the last 32 round on a 4-0 aggregate against Saint-Etienne and will be hoping to keep the goals pouring in when they play the Russian outfit.

Match forecast
Rostov are famous for their 3-2 home win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League earlier this season. In UCL, they were pooled against Anderlecht, Bayern and Atletico Madrid, and finished third in the group.
This explains how they found themselves in the Europa League. The hosts are expected to subject the visitors to a tough game, probably the toughest they have played in this competition this season.
But on paper, the statistics favor Jose Mourinho's men - they have not lost in four away games to Russian oppositions. On the other hand, the Russian club beat Tom Tomsk 6-0 in their most recent game, a result that gives them the much-needed confidence to face Mourinho's men.
This fixture promises to be a thriller now that these two sides have not played each other before. At the end of the day, the hosts have the upper hand based on their impressive home record this season.
